Jess,
The website is incredible. I am well and truly impressed. A great discovery at 5am while getting ready for work. If ever there was any doubt that you are a modern day visionary when it comes to storytelling and filmmaking, this gives it a flying dropkick off the 3rd turnbuckle.
I count myself fortunate to be a part of your projects, as small and humble as that part as that may be. |

Holy crap, that's awesome Jess. I love the timeline, and can't wait to watch as it moves forward.
Major props (ouch, that's cliched) to Greg for the design. Very sleek, very eye-catching, and very easy to understand.
Now it's time to send the link to everyone I know... |

Absolutely wonderful. It's perfect, really. Beautiful, elegantly simple, but still highly informative. Plus, once again, you make us wingmen feel important. Thanks, Jess  |

literally- breath takingly stunning! I was all giddy while the page loaded.
cool new catch phrase. very apt.
layout and content are comprehensible, comprehensive, compelling... and pretty!
the Wingman chronology is a nice touch.
I think this will help instill a greater sense of "realness", legitimacy and security in the minds of any wondering if this project is actually happening. I'm already a believer, and I felt inspired. |

My goodness, that is a breathtaking site. I knew that something of greatness was coming, but my my, that took my breath away.
I am so glad to be a part of this from the beginning. Nothing cooler than being one of the Shade. |

Can I just say how exciting it is to see my name on the list of those who are a part of this already.
Goosebumps! |

Hey thanks, everyone!
One reason we made the site is that I kept hearing, “This is awesome, but how do I explain it to a non-JSDC-er or someone who doesn’t know about film?” So that’s what it’s for. We’ll keep evolving based on feedback and how people are using the site.
Now stop telling us it’s pretty already and start sharing and submitting it places or whatever your sweet mind can think up! Hopefully we've made it a lot easier to share the project across the board, especially in terms of saying something direct and thoughtful when you recommend the project.

| Wow! Even if you do not make the movie (though I am sure you will), I am satisfied enough just looking at this website! |

Already put a post up today, linking to the new site!
And I just noticed that CSto and Curt Sawyer both have the same initials, so she must be cool!  |

| I noticed some wingmen are in blue, and some are in a yellow/orange color. Is there a significance (I assume there is)? |

I noticed that the intro screen alternates 4 (of course 4)different tag lines when loaded. each one sweet!
I also have linked and passed the word. |

Yeah hopefully there are multiple layers of discovery to be had on the site.
So guess what? There's a Facebook group! Just search "Artemis Eternal" in le Facebook to find us/tell your friends.
The group is Wingman-helmed (by Ryan) so it's really in your hands.
Checkout some other groups on there and chime in if you have ideas on how to better use the Facebook group to fundraise on aae.com and fortify the already awesome 'Artemis' community. I'll be lurking and promoting the group! |

| Katie - Thanks! I'm on travel this week so I'm viewing the site on my small laptop screen and hadn't even scrolled down to see that there was more below! The site is so well-designed that the vertical amount showing on the screen was "complete" and I didn't notice the scroll opportunity to see more! |

I have one suggestion on the web page. As someone who has looked at the page probably 10 times over the past day, waiting for the animation (which is Great!!!) to run each and every time before I can click on things is getting a little tedious. On the first page under "Begin", it might be nice to have a "Begin (skip animation)" button.
Just a suggestion. The group may feel free to shout me down. |

unless maybe you have dialup or a really slow computer, I don't see a problem with the startup.
only take 5-ish seconds to load for me.
indeed, I enjoy watching it form. |

Okay Wingmen and horde that is the Shade. Put your mouse-clicking fingers to work and help promote the new website (and it won't even cost you anything!). Someone already got a Digg started, so go and lend your support.

Sean - Not the initial start up flash, I'm talking about the 12 second animation after you click "begin". I'm not knocking it - it is really cool and very awesome, the first 5-7 times. But after sitting though it 10 times I just want to get to exploring the site.
Again, it is really cool and I love it! I just don't love it the 10th+ time I'm coming back to the site.
But I am occasionally wrong, even if I am an IT consultant... |

| That's totally valid, Curt... while we can't promise to implement every suggestion, this sort of feedback is great (essential even) for helping us hone the experience. |
